Thanks for pointing that out, Chris.  I read the document and it looks like 
the Commission realizes there are serious issues with RoHS.  But it also 
left open the possibility that more elements/compounds might be restricted. 
I'm guessing that the following might be under consideration for 
restriction:

beryllium
Bisphenol A
decaBDE
PVC
brominated compounds in general
chlorinated compounds in general
chihuahuas

Hi All,



In a piece from the Commision on the review of 2002/95:

http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/weee/pdf/review_2002_95_ec_directi
ve.pdf
<http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/weee/pdf/review_2002_95_ec_direct
ive.pdf>



I found the following text and link:



3. An additional study, managed by the Directorate General Enterprise
and Industry of the Commission, focusing on innovation and
competitiveness aspects of the WEEE and RoHS review is underway. A
description of the work of the project is available at:

http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/weee/pdf/tor_study_rohs-weee.pdf
<http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/weee/pdf/tor_study_rohs-weee.pdf>




It looks like they might consider to take a look at the possibility of a
more practical approach.
